Creepy cabbie fined THB1,000 for talking dirty to passengers

A taxi driver with a track record of talking dirty to his female passengers has been fined THB1,000.

The Department of Land Transport said on Sunday it punished Eakkapop Chareonthonsathorn for “acting and talking inappropriately to passengers” after his habit of harassing passengers went viral on the internet.

The latest case took place on Friday when a female student at Mahidol University posted on Pantip forum that the creepy taxi driver had asked her friend to marry him after graduation.

“Do you have a boyfriend? After senior year, do you wanna marry me? Being with me doesn’t require a degree,” Ekkapop was quoted as saying on the Pantip thread.
